| Top Anti-Terror Chief Dies In Spain Bombing |
| 2009-06-20 |
| A top counter-terrorist police officer has been killed in Spain's northern city of Bilbao after Eta rebels attached a bomb to his car. Chief-Inspector Eduardo Pueyes Garcia, 49, died instantly, after he turned on the ignition of his private car near to his home on the edge of Bilbao. Police said the anti-terror chief was about to drive to work at the National Police regional headquarters in the heart of Spain's troubled Basque Country. The officer had been a leading member of the force's anti-terrorist squad for the past seven years. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack but such bombings have regularly been carried out by Basque guerrillas Eta. |
